Chapter 112 Excellent Rice Vinegar

"Captain Fang." After listening to Fang Zhe's words about brown rice cakes, Huo Qingsong immediately said in a low voice: "Immediately send someone to check all the wine workshops in Jiangling Mansion, the workshops for brewing soy sauce and vinegar. You must find out all the news, and there must be no trace of leftovers. Also, this must be done in secret. Don't disturb those shopkeepers.

"I will transfer people immediately." Fang Zhe saluted Huo Qingsong and withdrew from the study. The solemn expression on Huo Qingsong's face did not soften at all.

The little powder found outside Jianglingfu is now the only clue that can find 'Chen Wangyu Party' and save Lv Xianger. This little clue can't tolerate Huo Qingsong's a little relaxation. After the matter of 'Lv Xianger's abtimation', Huo Qingsong did not allow himself to make a second careless mistake. Therefore, Huo Qingsong went to the mansion of Lord Jiangling Assassin. That night, the four gates of Jiangling Mansion were all in control of the hands of the Mansion, and everyone who went in and out had to go through a strict inspection, which is called 'lockdown'.

It is said that the Zhou Dynasty has not been 'locking down the city' several times since the beginning of the founding of the dynasty. And every time the 'lockdown' is because something important has happened, and it can't be done. Huo Qingsong is really taking a big 'risk' by doing this now. In case of any mistake, Huo Qingsong will definitely be questioned and his future will be ruined.

As Huo Qingsong's follower, Huo Bao understands the harmful relationship better than anyone else. He didn't understand the real intention of Huo Qingsong's move. Originally, after following Huo Qingsong for so long, Huo Bao thought he knew him. But now, Huo Bao has to be more clever.

Looking at Fang Zhe leaving, Huo Qingsong sat in the study for another hour. Huo Bao gently came to his side and whispered, "General, you didn't sleep last night. You'd better go and have a rest for a while. Otherwise, when Lieutenant Fang comes back, you can't rest.

"Well, I'll lie down for a while." Huo Qingsong thought for a moment before he nodded and got up. But he still told Huo Bao, "If Fang Zhe comes back, he must call me immediately without delay."

Huo Bao immediately bowed and said, "Remember, it will not delay official business." When Huo Qingsong went behind the screen, Huo Bao quietly withdrew from the study and closed the door. However, Huo Bao did not leave, but sat on the steps in front of the study and guarded Huo Qingsong in the study.

Huo Bao didn't know what Huo Qingsong was like when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, but he knew that he had never slept all night since Huo Qingsong returned to the capital. Huo Qingsong is really tired these days, and that's the most tiring kind of 'heart tiredness'. Therefore, Huo Bao bought so much time for Huo Qingsong to have a rest.

As for Huo Bao, he is also not idle for a moment, and he is also very tired. Especially at this time, sitting on the steps, the sun shone all over his body, and Huo Bao couldn't help doting. However, Fang Zhe did not make him feel too good. Just as Huo Bao was about to dream of the general's mansion in Beijing, he was woken up.

"Huo Bao, why are you sitting here?" Fang Zhe held a pile of brochures in one hand and patted Huo Bao on the shoulder with the other. Huo Bao was excited first, and then got up and said, "Captain Fang is looking for my general. I'm going to call the general up."

"Oh, I'm not busy. I know the general hasn't had a rest for a long time. Let him lie down for a while." Fang Zhe waved his hand and stood beside Huo Bao, ready to chat with him. But at this time, Huo Qingsong's low voice came from the room: "Captain Fang, come in. I've already had a good rest."

"I know, General." Fang Zhe answered Huo Qingsong and saw the helplessness in Huo Bao's eyes and couldn't help sighing. No wonder Huo Qingsong has such achievements in his youth. In the eyes of outsiders, they all thought that he was in the light of the general's mansion, and even Fang Zhe was like this at the beginning. But with getting along with Huo Qingsong, Fang Zhe really admires him.

When Fang Zhe and Huo Bao walked into the study, Huo Qingsong was already sitting in the back of several cases. Seeing the two, his eyes quickly turned to a pile of books in Fang Zhe's hand. Fang Zhe understood what Huo Qingsong meant and immediately put the things in his hand in front of him and divided them into three parts.

"General, these are all the winery in Jiangling Prefecture, these are..." At the same time Fang Zhe's introduction, Huo Qingsong has brought the booklet recording all the information of the winery in front of him. When Fang Zhe finished speaking, Huo Qingsong did not look up, but said to Huo Bao, "Huo Bao went to make a pot of tea. I want to check these brochures carefully with Fang Duwei. Also, make lunch easier to save time.

"I know, General." Huo Bao nodded to Fang Zhe and withdrew from the study. Fang Zhe and Huo Qingsong looked through the brochure on the table.

As for the matter of 'lockdown', Huo Qingsong has handed over all the power to another person in Zhechong Mansion. Hu Buyi, the captain of Guoyi, who has just asked for leave to return to his hometown to visit his relatives. This Hu Buyi was previously a general of the Jingshi Zhechong Mansion, and he was transferred to Jiangling Zhechong Mansion because of trouble. Because his father had followed the old general Huo Jing to fight south and north, Huo Qingsong and Hu Buyi were also very familiar with him. Huo Qingsong was also very relieved to hand over the important matter of 'lockdown' to Hu Buyi.

Huo Qingmatsu thought that he and Fang Zhe would watch it for a long time, but he didn't expect that he had watched half of it when he was about to have lunch. Although nothing was found, Huo Qingsong seemed to be a little relaxed. After finishing his meal quickly, he continued to come to several cases. Seeing this, Fang Zhe also put down the bowls and chopsticks, and soon sat next to Huo Qingsong.

"General, look at this." Fang Zhe read two books and found something interesting in the third book. He put the booklet in his hand in front of Huo Qingsong, pointed to a paragraph above and said, "General, this vinegar-brewing shop is managed by Liao Wenzhuo alone. Moreover, Liao Nanguo has long made it clear that no matter what Liao Wenzhuo is, this shop is his and will not be taken back to the Liao family.

"Show it to me." Huo Qingsong looked at it with a relaxed expression. He quickly took the book and read it carefully. After a long time, Huo Qingsong whispered, "Liao Wenzhuo, Zhuo Ji rice vinegar, brown rice cake..."

Listening to Huo Qingsong's self-sip, Fang Zhe seemed to remember something and immediately said, "General, Liao Nanguo's wife is surnamed Zhuo. Because Zhuo likes vinegar, Liao Nanguo found a craftsman who brewed rice vinegar and opened such a shop. Unexpectedly, this 'Zhuoji rice vinegar' has made a name for its name. It has not only become the most famous shop in Jiangling Mansion, but also provides all the rice vinegar to the imperial dining room of the palace every year. Moreover, there are also the four words 'Zhuoji rice vinegar' written by His Royal Highness the Second Prince in the shop.

Huo Qingsong nodded after hearing this, and his eyes turned his eyes. He slowly said, "So, isn't anyone who wants to go in and check in the 'Zhuoji rice vinegar' shop?"

"It is." Fang Zhe recalled what happened three years ago and said, "Three years ago, a new arrester in the government office chased a thief and chased 'Zhuo Ji Rice Vinegar'. At that time, he wanted to go into the shop and have a brief look, but he didn't expect that the new catcher not only did not enter the shop, but was also beaten by the clerk in the shop. In the end, it was the catcher in the government office who took him to 'Zhuoji Rice Vinegar' to pay for the gift, so it can't be considered.

"Why was it three years ago again?" Huo Qingsong knocked on a few cases with his fingers, and everything he knew about three years ago kept emerging in his mind. Although it is all trivial, Huo Qingsong always feels that there is an invisible connection between these things.

However, this is not the time to think about it. Huo Qingsong thought that he couldn't, so he didn't think about it anymore, but said to the other party, "Is there any abnormal behavior of Liao Wenzhuo during this period?"

"No. In addition to going to the college, he went to the restaurant to eat and drink with his friends and go to the brothel to drink flower wine. Every two or three days, Liao Wenzhuo will go to 'Zhuoji Rice Vinegar' to have a look. While thinking about his report, Fang Zhe said to Huo Qingsong, "However, Liao Wenzhuo seems to be a little honest these days. Every day when I come out of Liao's house, I go to the college, and then go to 'Zhuoji Rice Vinegar'. When he comes out of that shop, Liao Wenzhuo will go straight home and will never go out again.

"Oh?" Huo Qingsong slowly got up, as if something flashed in his heart. Although he didn't grab the thread that flashed at that moment, Huo Qingsong was not discouraged at all and turned his tone: "Captain Fang, although I can't be sure about anything now, I still have to send someone to monitor 'Zhuoji Rice Vinegar' day and night. When I think about how to enter the shop, I will talk about other things.

"General, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." A trace of embarrassment appeared on Fang Zhe's face and explained, "That 'Zhuoji Rice Shop' is the structure of the front shop and the back workshop. Whether it's the front door or the back door, there are many people going in and out every day, and some of them are difficult to monitor.

"Why do so many people go in and out of the back door?" Huo Qingsong raised his head and looked at Fang Zhe. Fang Zhe immediately replied, "Because the guys in the shop are going to deliver grain to brew rice vinegar, and also to send out the brewed rice vinegar..."

"Wait, do you think they are going to deliver food to the shop?" Huo Qingsong thought of something and said urgently, "Then what do they use to transport grain?"

Fang Zhe was a little stunned by Huo Qingsong's question, so he said blankly, "The carriage has a few large barrels of grain on it. The whole Jiangling government knows that only 'Zhuoji rice vinegar' can use so much grain and such a large wooden barrel.

When Huo Qingsong heard this, his heart suddenly lit up. All the previous puzzles seemed to have an answer. But when he was about to say something, he heard Huo Bao's voice from outside: "Mrs. Chaoxia, you have something to do... Hey, Mrs. Chaoxia, why did you suddenly leave again..."

"No, Chaoxia must have heard what we just said." Huo Qingsong's face darkened, and his eyes shot out two fine light. He said calmly, "Come on, gather troops and take me to 'Zhuoji Rice Vinegar'. Externally, it is said that we are going to arrest the 'Chen Wangyu Party' hidden in Jiangling Mansion..."
